A NIGHT OWL REVIEWS BOOK REVIEW | Reviewed by: SamanthaAnn
Hillary has an agenda and not even an unplanned visit from the local vampire can sway her, but then there’s the owner of the coffee shop chain who has an agenda of his own which includes Hillary, if he can get her to agree to his terms.
This book went way too fast – I was enjoying it so much I wasn’t ready for it to end when it did. This is a story written with sharp, intelligent characters that grab you and take you along for a great ride. Add in a generous helping of steamy sex and you’ve got a winner in your hands.
I am definitely looking forward to reading more of Ms. Duarte’s work.

Book Blurb for Rise of the Wolf
City girl Hilary Samuels has no idea Murphy's Law will kick into high gear the first night of the Hunters' Moon. One country road, a flat tire and a skid into a cornfield later, and Hilary finds herself face-to-fang with a seductive vampire. Add to that one super-sized wolf who challenges her attacker and you've got one weird night out.
Anyone else would retreat to the more conventional hazards of urban life, but Hilary moved to McKenna with an agenda. If she can successfully run the small town's Café Lotti, her promotion to managing one of the hippest cafes in Chicago is in the bag.
But how to build a customer base when stalked by the undead? Not to mention the hunky head of the company turning out to have some steamy supernatural secrets of his own! Will Hilary join forces with her new and powerful ally, or will their entanglement rip her world apart?
